SECTION 1 : IDENTIFICATION
GHS Pictogram s:
Toluene: Ex posure of rats and m ice to toluene at concentrations ranging from 120-1200 ppm for two
years did not dem onstrate evidence of carcinogenicity. Toluene has not been listed as a carcinogen by
IARC.
Signs/Sym ptom s: Effects of overex posure can include slight irritation of the respiratory tract, nausea, vom iting, and signs
of nervous system depression (e.g., headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination,
disorientation and fatigue). Continued ex posure to high concentrations can result in vom iting, cardiac
irregularities and sudden loss of consciousness.
Benzene
Carcinogenicity: Benzene is an anim al carcinogen and is k nown to produce acute m yelogenous leuk em ia (a form of
cancer) in hum ans. Benzene has been identified as a hum an carcinogen by IARC, the US National
Tox icology Program and the US Occupational Safety and Health Adm inistration.
Carcinogenicity: Two year inhalation studies of vaporized unleaded gasoline produced an increased incidence of k idney
tum ors in m ale rats and liver tum ors in fem ale m ice. Repeated sk in application of various petroleum
naphthas in m ice for two years resulted in an increased incidence of sk in tum ors but only in the
presence of severe sk in irritation. Follow-up m echanistic studies suggest that the occurrence of these
tum ors m ay be the consequence of prom otional processes and not relevant to hum an risk
assessm ent. Epidem iology data collected from a study of m ore than 18,000 petroleum m ark eting and
distribution work ers showed no increased risk of leuk em ia, m ultiple m yelom a, or k idney cancer from
gasoline ex posure. Unleaded gasoline has been identified as a possible carcinogen by the
International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Mix tures:
¹ All concentrations are percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent
by volum e.
Com position is variable. May contain between 0-5% C2, 0-15% C3, 0-45% C4, 5-70% C5, and 25-95%
C6 plus. Contains < 10 ppm hydrogen sulfide.
Crude oil, natural gas and natural gas condensate can contain m inor am ounts of sulfur, nitrogen and
ox ygen containing organic com pounds as well as trace am ounts of heavy m etals lik e m ercury, arsenic,
nick el, and vanadium . Com position can vary depending on the source of crude.
Eye Contact: If irritation or redness develops from ex posure, flush eyes with clean water. If sym ptom s persist, seek
m edical attention.
Sk in Contact: Rem ove contam inated shoes and clothing, and flush affected area(s) with large am ounts of water. If
sk in surface is dam aged, apply a clean dressing and seek m edical attention. If sk in surface is not
dam aged, cleanse affected area(s) thoroughly by washing with m ild soap and water or a waterless hand
cleaner. If irritation or redness develops, seek m edical attention. Wash contam inated clothing before
reuse.
Inhalation: (Breathing): If respiratory sym ptom s develop, m ove victim away from source of ex posure and into
fresh air in a position com fortable for breathing. If breathing is difficult, ox ygen or artificial respiration
should be adm inistered by qualified personnel. If sym ptom s persist, seek m edical attention.
Ingestion: (Swallowing): Aspiration hazard: Do not induce vom iting or give anything by m outh because this
m aterial can enter the lungs and cause severe lung dam age. If victim is drowsy or unconscious and
vom iting, place on the left side with the head down. If possible, do not leave victim unattended and
observe closely for adequacy of breathing. Seek m edical attention.
Federal regulations (29 CFR 1910.1028) specify m edical surveillance program s for certain ex posures to
benzene above the action level or PEL (specified in Section (i)(1)(i) of the Standard). In addition,
em ployees ex posed in an em ergency situation shall, as described in Section (i)(4)(i), provide a urine
sam ple at the end of the shift for m easurem ent of urine phenol.
Suitable Ex tinguishing Media: Dry chem ical, carbon diox ide, or foam is recom m ended. Water spray is recom m ended to cool or protect
ex posed m aterials or structures. Carbon diox ide can displace ox ygen. Use caution when applying
carbon diox ide in confined spaces. Sim ultaneous use of foam and water on the sam e surface is to be
avoided as water destroys the foam . Water m ay be ineffective for ex tinguishm ent, unless used under
favorable conditions by ex perienced fire fighters.
Unusual Fire Hazards: Ex trem ely flam m able. This m aterial can be ignited by heat, spark s, flam es, or other sources of ignition
(e.g., static electricity, pilot lights, m echanical/electrical equipm ent, and electronic devices such as cell
phones, com puters, calculators, and pagers which have not been certified as intrinsically safe). Vapors
m ay travel considerable distances to a source of ignition where they can ignite, flash back , or ex plode.
May create vapor/air ex plosion hazard indoors, in confined spaces, outdoors, or in sewers. If container
is not properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat of a fire. This product will float and can be reignited on
surface water. Vapors are heavier than air and can accum ulate in low areas.
Fire Fighting Instructions: For fires beyond the initial stage, em ergency responders in the im m ediate hazard area should wear
protective clothing. When the potential chem ical hazard is unk nown, in enclosed or confined spaces, a
self contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective
equipm ent as conditions warrant (see Section 8).
Isolate im m ediate hazard area and k eep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be
done safely. Move undam aged containers from im m ediate hazard area if it can be done safely. Water
spray m ay be useful in m inim izing or dispersing vapors and to protect personnel. Cool equipm ent
ex posed to fire with water, if it can be done safely. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for
cooling purposes.
NFPA Ratings:

NFPA Reactivity: 0
See Section 9 for Flam m able Properties including Flash Point and Flam m able (Ex plosive) Lim its
Personnel Precautions: Ex trem ely flam m able. Spillages of liquid product will create a fire hazard and m ay form an ex plosive
atm osphere. Keep all sources of ignition and hot m etal surfaces away from spill/release if safe to do
so. The use of ex plosion-proof electrical equipm ent is recom m ended. Stay upwind and away from
spill/release. Avoid direct contact with m aterial. For large spillages, notify persons down wind of the
spill/release, isolate im m ediate hazard area and k eep unauthorized personnel out. Wear appropriate
protective equipm ent, including respiratory protection, as conditions warrant (see Section 8). See
Sections 2 and 7 for additional inform ation on hazards and precautionary m easures.
Environm ental Precautions: Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Prevent spilled m aterial from entering sewers, storm drains,
other unauthorized drainage system s, and natural waterways. Use foam on spills to m inim ize vapors.
Use water sparingly to m inim ize environm ental contam ination and reduce disposal requirem ents. Spills
into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines that cause a sheen or
discoloration on the surface of the water, m ay require notification of the National Response Center
(phone num ber 800-424-8802). If spill occurs on water notify appropriate authorities and advise
shipping of any hazard.
Methods for cleanup: Notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations. Im m ediate cleanup of any spill
is recom m ended. Dik e far ahead of spill for later recovery or disposal. Absorb spill with inert m aterial
such as sand or verm iculite, and place in suitable container for disposal. If spilled on water rem ove with
appropriate m ethods (e.g. sk im m ing, boom s or absorbents). In case of soil contam ination, rem ove
contam inated soil for rem ediation or disposal, in accordance with local regulations.
Recom m ended m easures are based on the m ost lik ely spillage scenarios for this m aterial; however
local conditions and regulations m ay influence or lim it the choice of appropriate actions to be tak en.
Mercury and other heavy m etals m ay be present in trace quantities in crude oil, raw natural gas, and
condensates. Production and processing of these m aterials can lead to "drop-out" of elem ental
m ercury in enclosed vessels and pipe work , typically at the low point of any process equipm ent because
of its density. Mercury m ay also occur in other process system deposits such as sludges, sands, scales,
wax es, and filter m edia. Personnel engaged in work with equipm ent where m ercury deposits m ight
occur (confined space entry, sam pling, opening drain valves, draining process lines, etc), m ay be
ex posed to a m ercury hazard (see sections 3 and 8).
Static Accum ulation Hazard: Electrostatic charge m ay accum ulate and create a hazardous condition
when handling this m aterial. To m inim ize this hazard, bonding and grounding of tank s, transfer piping,
and storage tank level floats are necessary but m ay not, by them selves, be sufficient. Review all
operations which have the potential of generating and accum ulating an electrostatic charge and/or a
flam m able atm osphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sam pling,
gauging, switch loading, filtering, m ix ing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate
m itigating procedures. Special care should be given to ensure that special slow load procedures for
"switch loading" are followed to avoid the static ignition hazard that can ex ist when higher flash point
m aterial (such as fuel oil or diesel) is loaded into tank s previously containing low flash point products
(such as gasoline or naphtha). For m ore inform ation, refer to O SHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106,
'Flam m able and Com bustible Liquids', National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 77, 'Recom m ended
Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the Am erican Petroleum Institute (API) Recom m ended Practice
2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents'.
Storage: Conditions for safe storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed and properly labeled. Use and store this
m aterial in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from heat, direct sunlight, hot m etal surfaces, and all
sources of ignition. Post area "No Sm ok ing or Open Flam e." Store only in approved containers. Keep
away from any incom patible m aterial (see Section 10). Protect container(s) against physical dam age.
Outdoor or detached storage is preferred. Indoor storage should m eet O SHA standards and
appropriate fire codes.
"Em pty" containers retain residue and m ay be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or ex pose such containers to heat, flam e, spark s, or other sources of ignition. They m ay
ex plode and cause injury or death. "Em pty" drum s should be com pletely drained, properly bunged, and
prom ptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in an
environm entally safe m anner and in accordance with governm ental regulations. Before work ing on or in
tank s which contain or have contained this m aterial, refer to O SHA regulations, ANSI Z49.1, and other
references pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or other contem plated operations.
Engineering Controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to m aintain airborne concentrations below the
established ex posure lim its, additional engineering controls m ay be required.
Eye/Face Protection: The use of eye protection that m eets or ex ceeds ANSI Z.87.1 is recom m ended to protect against
potential eye contact, irritation, or injury. Depending on conditions of use, a face shield m ay be
necessary.
Sk in Protection Description: The use of gloves im pervious to the specific m aterial handled is advised to prevent sk in contact. Users
should check with m anufacturers to confirm the break through perform ance of their products. Depending
on ex posure and use conditions, additional protection m ay be necessary to prevent sk in contact
including use of item s such as chem ical resistant boots, aprons, arm covers, hoods, coveralls, or
encapsulated suits. Suggested protective m aterials: Nitrile
Respiratory Protection: A NIO SH approved, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or equivalent operated in a pressure
dem and or other positive pressure m ode should be used in situations of ox ygen deficiency (ox ygen
content less than 19.5 percent), unk nown ex posure concentrations, or situations that are im m ediately
dangerous to life or health (IDLH).
A respiratory protection program that m eets or is equivalent to O SHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2
should be followed whenever work place conditions warrant a respirator's use.
If benzene concentrations equal or ex ceed applicable ex posure lim its, O SHA requirem ents for personal
protective equipm ent, ex posure m onitoring, and training m ay apply (29CFR1910.1028 - Benzene).
Work place m onitoring plans should consider the possibility that heavy m etals such as m ercury m ay

concentrate in processing vessels and equipm ent presenting the possibility of ex posure during various
sam pling and m aintenance operations. Im plem ent appropriate respiratory protection and the use of
other protective equipm ent as dictated by m onitoring results (See Sections 2 and 7).
Other Protective: Equipm ent: Eye wash and quick -drench shower facilities should be available in the work area.
Thoroughly clean shoes and wash contam inated clothing before reuse.
Notes : Suggestions provided in this section for ex posure control and specific types of protective equipm ent are
based on readily available inform ation. Users should consult with the specific m anufacturer to confirm
the perform ance of their protective equipm ent. Specific situations m ay require consultation with
industrial hygiene, safety, or engineering professionals.

Chem ical Stability: Stable under norm al am bient and anticipated conditions of use.
Conditions To Avoid:
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid high tem peratures and all sources of ignition. Prevent vapor accum ulation.
Incom patible Materials: Materials to Avoid: Avoid contact with strong ox idizing agents and strong reducing agents.
Toluene:
Ex posure of rats and m ice to toluene at concentrations ranging from 120-1200 ppm for two years did
not dem onstrate evidence of carcinogenicity. Toluene has not been listed as a carcinogen by IARC.
Mutagenicity: Germ Cell Mutagenicity: Not ex pected to cause heritable genetic effects.
Other Tox icological Inform ation: Signs and Sym ptom s: Effects of overex posure can include slight irritation of the respiratory tract,
nausea, vom iting, and signs of nervous system depression (e.g., headache, drowsiness, dizziness,
loss of coordination, disorientation and fatigue). Continued ex posure to high concentrations can result
in vom iting, cardiac irregularities and sudden loss of consciousness.
Other Com m ents: Condensate can contain trace am ounts of heavy m etals, som e of which m ay
concentrate in vessels and equipm ent during production and processing operations. While som e of
these m etals are k nown tox ins, the hazard is dependent upon the ex tent of accum ulation. Significant
deposits of elem ental m ercury have the potential to create airborne vapors of the m etal, which m ight
result in a hazardous condition. Overex posure to m ercury is k nown to cause neurologic effects and
dam age the k idneys and developing fetus (See Sections 7 and 8).
Target Organ Repeated Not ex pected to cause organ effects from repeated ex posure.
Ex posures:
Benzene :
Carcinogenicity: Benzene is an anim al carcinogen and is k nown to produce acute m yelogenous leuk em ia (a form of
cancer) in hum ans. Benzene has been identified as a hum an carcinogen by IARC, the US National
Tox icology Program and the USOccupational Safety and Health Adm inistration.
Mutagenicity: Germ Cell Mutagenicity: Benzene ex posure has resulted in chrom osom al aberrations in hum an
lym phocytes and anim al bone m arrow cells. Ex posure has also been associated with chrom osom al
aberrations in sperm cells in hum an and anim al studies.
Reproductive Tox icity: Som e studies in occupationally ex posed wom en have suggested benzene ex posure increased risk of
m iscarriage and stillbirth and decreased birth weight and gestational age. The size of the effects
detected in these studies was sm all, and ascertainm ent of ex posure and outcom e in som e cases relied
on self-reports, which m ay lim it the reliability of these results.
Target Organ Repeated Prolonged or repeated ex posures to benzene vapors can cause dam age to the blood and blood
Ex posures: form ing organs, including disorders lik e leuk openia, throm bocytopenia, and aplastic anem ia.
Carcinogenicity: Two year inhalation studies of vaporized unleaded gasoline produced an increased incidence of k idney
tum ors in m ale rats and liver tum ors in fem ale m ice. Repeated sk in application of various petroleum
naphthas in m ice for two years resulted in an increased incidence of sk in tum ors but only in the
presence of severe sk in irritation. Follow-up m echanistic studies suggest that the occurrence of these
tum ors m ay be the consequence of prom otional processes and not relevant to hum an risk
assessm ent. Epidem iology data collected from a study of m ore than 18,000 petroleum m ark eting and
distribution work ers showed no increased risk of leuk em ia, m ultiple m yelom a, or k idney cancer from
gasoline ex posure. Unleaded gasoline has been identified as a possible carcinogen by the
International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Reproductive Tox icity: No evidence of developm ental tox icity was found in pregnant laboratory anim als (rats and m ice)
ex posed to high vapor concentrations of unleaded gasoline and petroleum naphthas via inhalation. A
two-generation reproductive tox icity study of vapor recovery gasoline did not adversely affect
reproductive function or offspring survival and developm ent.
Target Organ Repeated Two year inhalation studies of wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline, and 90 days studies of various
Ex posures: petroleum naphthas, did not produce significant target organ tox icity in laboratory anim als.
Nephropathy in m ale rats, characterized by the accum ulation of alpha-2-u- globulin in epithelial cells of
the prox im al tubules was observed, however follow-up studies suggest that these changes are unique
to the m ale rat.
n-Hexane :
Reproductive Tox icity: Prolonged ex posure to high concentrations of n-hex ane (> 1,000 ppm ) resulted in decreased sperm
count and degenerative changes in the testes of rats but not those of m ice.
Target Organ Repeated Ex cessive ex posure to n-hex ane can result in peripheral neuropathies. The initial sym ptom s are
Ex posures: sym m etrical sensory num bness and paresthesias of distal portions of the ex trem ities. Motor weak ness
is typically observed in m uscles of the toes and fingers but m ay also involve m uscles of the arm s,
thighs and forearm s. The onset of these sym ptom s m ay be delayed for several m onths to a year after
the beginning of ex posure. The neurotox ic properties of n-hex ane are potentiated by ex posure to
m ethyl ethyl k etone and m ethyl isobutyl k etone.
Toluene :
Reproductive Tox icity: Ex posure to toluene during pregnancy has dem onstrated lim ited evidence of developm ental tox icity in
laboratory anim als. Decreased fetal body weight and increased sk eletal variations in both inhalation
and oral studies, but only at doses that were m aternally tox ic. No fetal tox icity was seen at doses that
were not m aternally tox ic. Decreased sperm counts have been observed in m ale rats in the absence of
a reduction in fertility. Toluene has been reported to cause m ental or growth retardation in the children
of solvent abusers who directly inhale toluene during pregnancy.
Target Organ Repeated Epidem iology studies suggest that chronic occupational overex posure to toluene m ay dam age color
Ex posures: vision. Subchronic and chronic inhalation studies with toluene produced k idney and liver dam age,
hearing loss and central nervous system (brain) dam age in laboratory anim als. Intentional m isuse by
deliberate inhalation of high concentrations of toluene has been shown to cause liver, k idney, and
central nervous system dam age, including hearing loss and visual disturbances.
Cyclohexane :
Reproductive Tox icity: Two-generation reproduction and developm ental tox icity studies using rats and rabbits ex posed
(whole-body) to atm ospheric concentrations up to 7000 ppm cyclohex ane did not detect evidence of
developm ental tox icity in either species.
Ecotox icity:
Ecotox icity: Tox icity: Acute aquatic tox icity studies on sam ples of gasoline and naphtha stream s show acute tox icity
values greater than 1 m g/L and m ostly in the range 1-100 m g/L. These tests were carried out on water
accom m odated fractions, in closed system s to prevent evaporative loss. Results are consistent with the
predicted aquatic tox icity of these substances based on their hydrocarbon com position. These
substances should be regarded as tox ic to aquatic organism s, with the potential to cause long term
adverse effects in the aquatic environm ent. Classification: H411; Chronic Cat 2.
Biodegradation: Persistence and Degradability: The hydrocarbons in this m aterial are not readily biodegradable but are
regarded as inherently biodegradable since their hydrocarbon com ponents can be degraded by
m icroorganism s.
Bioaccum ulation: Bioaccum ulative Potential: Log Kow values m easured for the hydrocarbon com ponents of this m aterial
range from 3 to greater than 6 and therefore are regarded as having the potential to bioaccum ulate.
In practice, m etabolic processes or physical properties m ay prevent this effect or lim it bioavailability.
Mobility in soil:
Mobility In Environm ental Media: Mobility in Soil: On release to water, hydrocarbons will float on the surface and since they are sparingly
soluble, the only significant loss is volatilization to air. In air, these hydrocarbons are photodegraded
by reaction with hydrox yl radicals with half lives varying from 6.5 days for benzene to 0.5 days for n-
dodecane.
Description of waste:
Waste Disposal: The generator of a waste is always responsible for m ak ing proper hazardous waste determ inations and
needs to consider state and local requirem ents in addition to federal regulations.
This m aterial, if discarded as produced, would not be a federally regulated RCRA "listed" hazardous
